雑炊橋

雑炊橋, Road bridge in central Matsumoto, Japan.

Zosui-bashi is a cable-stayed road bridge over the Azusa River in the Azumi district of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. It links the district centre with the Hashiba settlement. The current 1987 structure has a cantilevered cable-stayed design, replacing earlier wooden bridges that had been rebuilt for centuries.

A bridge has stood here since the Heian period, when it was built as a hane-bashi (cantilevered bridge) over the Azusa River, one of the three famous hane-bashi of the Edo period. It was managed directly by the Matsumoto domain as a key link between Azumi and Chikuma districts, and a checkpoint (bansho) stood at the Hashiba settlement on the right bank. The current cable-stayed bridge dates from 1987.

The name was standardised as Zosui-bashi in 1911, when the wooden cantilever bridge was replaced by a timber-framed suspension bridge. Older records write it as Zoshi, Zoshoku, Zoshi or Zosui, and the form Zoshi-bashi was used in speech. The name recalls a legend of a couple, Setsu and Seimei, who saved money on rice porridge to build a bridge.

The current 1987 cable-stayed bridge carries the road linking Matsumoto's Azumi district centre with the Hashiba settlement. Since the 1870 Niibuchi bridge took over through traffic, it mainly serves local crossings; in 1991 it briefly became a detour when National Route 158 collapsed. The Azumi branch office and Azumi elementary and junior high school stand nearby.

The 1911 change drew on the legend of Sett and Seimei, who saved on zosui rice porridge to pay for a bridge.
